Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a processor, a plurality of storage devices, and an FPGA. The plurality of storage devices stores a plurality of items of segment data. Each item of segment data includes configuration information on a configuration of the segment data. A search command in which search target segment data and a search formula for the database are described is received from a host computer. The FPGA reads the configuration information relating to the search target segment data, analyzes the search formula to specify column data to be used for search, specifies, based on the read configuration information, a storage location of the specified column data in the search target segment data, reads column data to be used by the specified search target from the storage device in which the search target segment data is stored and executes search, and returns the search result to the host computer.
